Hard Cover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket. First Edition. [Gilbert, Stuart translated by]: In Two Latitudes (London: Routledge 1942). First UK Edition in dustwrapper priced 8s. net to the inside flap and stamped adjacent thereto OVERSEAS EDITION. Publisher's blue boards with black lettering to the spine. Boards bright and clean apart from fading at the spine tips matching chipping in the dustwrapper. There is a former owner's name and contemporary date to the front paste-down. A tiny bookseller stamp to the rear free end-paper: "This Book is from Thackor & Co. Ltd. Bombay". Very clean interior. No foxing. Overall very good indeed. The very good dustwrapper has shallow chipping at the head and tail of the spine but is otherwise a fairly attractive example. "In Two Latitudes" is one of the scarcest wartime Simenon first editions the dustwrapper of which was made from very poor quality paper hence why it never turns up in really fine condition. A fragile and scarce war-time production. Uncommon. No restoration. Contains two novels: The Mystery of the Polarlys and The Tropic Moon. Further photographs available upon request.…

Hard Cover. Dust Jacket. First Edition. First UK Edition. Neat contemporary name and date on the front paste-down, outlines of some old pencil prices rubbed out on the FFEP and slight flattening to both the tip and tail of the spine otherwise a solid VG copy with bright and clean boards. The D/W (priced 8s net to the inside flap as called for) has benefitted from some highly skilled archival repair and refurbishment (by one of the UK's leading paper conservators) to a couple of minor chips and short tears and now shows as a most attractive example. In our experience "In Two Latitudes" is one of the scarcest wartime Simenon first editions and seldom found in attractive, shelvable condition (as this copy is). Included is a photograph of the D/W pre and post restoration. A fragile and scarce war-time production. This copy has lasted the test of time pretty well. Uncommon. Photographs/scans available upon request.…
